Sweet Imogene

Meet Imogene, the only girl in this bunch of Bartletts. She was the scrawniest kitten in the litter, but she's filling out FAST.

Her coat is mostly buff, but she has a few smokey patches on her arms and backside too. At first, I thought it was dirt, but the patches remained after her bath and seem to be getting darker everyday. It will be interesting to see how her color develops.

Imogene is a happy and bright little girl with a shining personality. She's loving and affectionate towards her littermates and us humans too, and she's been that way since day one.

Hi Sweet Imogene! There's no need for sad eyes now - you are in the best place ever for kitties needing a bit of a boost in finding their forever homes. I'm looking forward to seeing you and your sibs playing in wild, happy spirits soon!

She has such sad eyes. I bet whoever adopts her for her forever home will make sure her life is full of happiness. It may have been a rough start, but she and her brothers have everything going for them now!

I'm not sure she's sad-looking; I'd call it more pensive. Perhaps she realizes more than her brothers that the Great Paw sent them the right direction at that fork in the road. It's true! The Bartletts' futures are stunning! (Thanks, Laurie!)

Aw! That face would melt even the most hardened grinch-heart! Not that there are any grinches lurking around the IBKC page, of course, but Imogene should know that she's got super kitten endearing powers!

They all look like Victorian street waifs: winsome, thoughtful and plaintive. I think the lack of fat on their faces is the reason their eyes are such an odd shape, but I'm looking forward to seeing them get plump and frisky. :)

she is absolutely gorgeous and looks like a total LOVE kitty! i think some pics with the 'hubs' would be appropriate at this point Laurie... she seesm to be just waiting for some big shoulders to nap on! she is wonderful! again- 'almond eyes~" beautiful!

Are the Bartletts older than most of the kittens are when you get them, Laurie? I notice that their eyes have all changed, whereas some of the kittens you get still have blue eyes. How old are the kittens usually when they come to you, anyway, and how old are these ones?

Purry greetings ~ Such a rare name, Imogene. Thanks for pulling that name out of the history books. Here's what it means from Behind the Name - The name of a princess in the play 'Cymbeline' (1609) by Shakespeare. He based her on a legendary character named Innogen, but the name was printed incorrectly and never corrected. The name Innogen is probably derived from Gaelic inghean meaning "maiden".

No extra toes on this girl.. it just looks that way because she's holding her paws together.

kisekileia - THey're around 8 weeks now. They're older than average for us, but they're pretty small for their age. Usually our kittens are 4-6 weeks when they move in. We've had much younger and much older too.
